55th Personnel Services Battalion
The 55th PSB mission is to provide personnel services and postal support in our assigned area of responsibility, transition to war/stability operations, deploy the PSB/subordinate elements, and sustain operations.
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 13 February 1995, consisting of a shield blazoned: Per fess embattled Azure and Or, a lion passant in base a stylized fleur-de-lis Gules and Azure. Attached around the bottom and sides a Red scroll inscribed "ALWAYS THERE IN SUPPORT" in Gold. Dark blue and scarlet are the colors traditionally associated with the Adjutant General's Corps. Gold is emblematic of honor and excellence, and red symbolizes sacrifice and valor. The lion, battlements and fleur-de-lis commemorate the unit's campaign credits and baptism of fire in World War II in Europe. The fleur-de-lis with an arrowhead for its center honors the Southern France campaign. The lion, symbol of strength, represents Rome. The battlements underscore strong support and defense and reflect the castles of Central Europe.
